Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Bath to Bristol Strategic Corridor - Build Contract," a significant infrastructure project designed to upgrade the route between Bristol and Bath. This tender, falling under the industry category of engineering works and construction works, is valued at £50 million net (or £60 million gross) and involves the procurement of road-construction materials and associated services. The procedure is set to employ selective procurement methods using pre-Procurement Act commercial tools and is likely to follow frameworks established by Pagabo or CCS, using NEC Option A, B, or C. The project is located in the UKK1 region (United Kingdom) and is expected to commence on 31st January 2026, concluding by 31st August 2027.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in public road transport services, road-construction materials, and repair and maintenance of roads and equipment. Companies experienced in large-scale infrastructure and construction projects would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's complexity and the requirement for selective procurement via established commercial frameworks. Such a contract could offer significant business growth opportunities and potential partnerships under a government-led initiative, allowing enterprises to establish or strengthen their presence in the public construction domain in the UK.
